Chapter 122: Attacking Laifeng Mountain (Part II)
The 6th Regiment, which had just captured Wenbipo, was building new fortifications. After a bloody battle, it consumed a lot of physical strength, and in the face of these multiple Japanese troops drilled out of the ground, he was caught off guard by the devils. The position that had just been returned soon returned to the hands of the devils.
Of course, Zangzhong Kangmei knows the importance of coming to Fengshan, and losing Laifengshan is equivalent to losing Tengchong City.
As early as when the Japanese army captured Tengchong City, the Japanese army had already begun to renovate the outlying strongholds. Laifengshan is the most important of them, and the fortifications of Laifengshan are divided into four layers, and the layers are reinforced concrete bunkers. These bunker fortifications are connected to Tengchong City. It is convenient to either reinforce or retreat.
How can this result of the battle exchanged for blood be lost so lightly! Division Commander Gu immediately mobilized troops and captured Fengshan again. This time, Gu's division commander was divided into three routes, the main force went straight to Wenbi Slope, and the other two roads directly attacked Erdaopo and Elephant Trunk Mountain respectively.
Kurashige Yasumi hit a surprise attack on the 6th Regiment of the Chinese Army, which was very unexpected. However, what he didn't expect was that when he transferred the Japanese troops from the various hills to prepare to reinforce Wenbi Slope, these hills were targeted by Peng Gang of the 2nd Regiment early, and Peng Gang ordered Han Shigui and Shandong to lead two battalions of troops to take advantage of the situation, which still caught the devil by surprise, and also gave Zangzhong Yasumi a beautiful surprise attack.
A fierce battle unfolded in Wenbi Slope. In the dark night, only gunshots were heard everywhere, and the sound of killing continued. The enemy and the enemy fought a bloody battle all night. In the face of the devils hiding in the dark bunker, the Chinese army used the most ***** to burn the Japanese army's tunnel in Laifengshan to a mess.
The last stronghold of the Japanese army in Laifengshan was also wiped out by the 2nd Advance Regiment.
As soon as he saw that the general trend had gone, and the lonely peak of Wenbi Mountain was difficult to defend, he immediately led the remnants of his troops to retreat to the city wall position.
In the early morning of July 27, the main force of the 2nd Reserve Division again attacked Wenbipo.
Coming to Fengshan was really as expected, the battle was very fierce, but in any case, it was finally captured.
The battle of Lai Fengshan ended quickly. The Japanese army paid 100 casualties, while the national army paid more than 1,000 casualties.
When the fierce battle in Fengshan was lai, the people around Tengchong stood on the surrounding hills, watching the battle enthusiastically, and they cheered for this spectacular land and air battle. When the Chinese flag was raised on Laifeng Mountain, which had once fallen into the hands of the enemy, Tengchong Sishan cheered, and the surrounding people took out the only food they had at home to comfort the troops, and the joy was really beyond words.
Within one day, the enemy who resisted was eliminated, except for a dozen Japanese soldiers who fled to Tengchong City and beyond, and all the enemies who came to Fengshan to defend were annihilated.
Everyone knows that this is just the beginning, and for them, the real test is actually yet to come, the battle of Tengchong City. For the national army, their gang has not experienced street fighting, although Han Shigui and Shandong have a little experience in street fighting, but they are still much worse than the experienced Japanese army. One of the more important points is that there are no cannonballs or ** that can blow up the city wall, and the current troops can only surround Tengchong City.
Kurashige Yasumi never thought that the Tengchong First Barrier, which she had spent a lot of effort to build, would be lost in just a few rounds. When the division commander Sakaguchi learned about it, he was furious and immediately issued a strong order to Kurashige Yasumi that "during the battle of Longling, the main force of the division, Tengchong must be defended to the death."
Zangzhong Yasumi also kept complaining to the division commander, hoping that the soldiers who had been transferred from Tengchong to reinforce Songshan and Longling would return quickly, and his garrison had already lost hundreds of people in Gaoligong Mountain and Laifeng Mountain, and only 3,000 troops could be pulled into the city.
Life in Sakaguchi was not easy either.
His garrison was divided and surrounded by the Chinese expeditionary force in western Burma. At that time, Songshan had been besieged for more than a month, Pingga had been besieged for two months, and the important town of Longling was almost lost. The only way to change this situation is to fight to the death.
He was organizing a large-scale battle on the outskirts of Longling, as long as he broke through the encirclement of the Chinese army, opened the Yunnan-Burma road, and the troops reached Songshan, he could relieve the Lameng garrison, and then come to reinforce the Tengyue garrison. Of course, all this is easy to say, but several troops reinforcing Matsuyama were blocked by the Chinese army at the foot of Matsuyama.
Stabilizing the garrisons is the key to this battle, in order to cheer up the Tibetan heavy Kangmei, the division commander mobilized the defenders of Longchuan on the Sino-Burmese border as early as ten days ago, although there were only more than 300 people, but this team with mountain artillery, from the weak southwest of the expeditionary force, the situation will be different, as long as it forms a flanking attack on the Chinese army with the Tengyue garrison, the situation will be different.
When Kurashige Yasumi learned that the team was heading north along the Dayei River toward Tengchong, he anxiously waited for the reinforcements.
After capturing Fengshan, the 20th Group Army approached step by step, the 36th Division and the 116th Division respectively captured Manjinyi, Nijiapu, Ertaipo, Xiaotuanpo, Baiyige, Longguangtai, Dongying and other places, and a part of the reserve 2nd Division also advanced to the vicinity of the British Consulate in the west of Tengchong City.
Most of the Chinese troops had reached Tengchong, and Commander Huo put on an active siege position.
It seems that the fierce mountain warfare will soon turn into a battle for the castle wall.
The walls are sure to be blown down, but the city is not so easy to fight unless you flatten the entire buildings of Tengchong City.
"That's definitely not good, it's hard to fight street fights with the Japanese, and they have a lot of experience."
Here, Han Shigui, Shandong and several battalion commanders began to discuss this matter, Tengchong City is definitely going to be taken, but it is definitely going to enter the city to clean up. Although there was only one wing in the city, they built many fortifications in order to delay the movement of the Chinese army and wait for the Japanese army from Burma to return.
"I don't know which door we entered from, as soon as we entered, it was a fierce battle, and if the ammunition supply was not complete, we would suffer."
This is actually the truth, which door to enter is like entering a ghost gate, and no one knows what kind of situation will be inside. The buildings in Tengchong City are complex, and the Japanese army has set up 23 comfort stations in Tengchong City, and Tengchong Confucian Temple is the largest one. There are also a large number of ammunition depots, which are the most dangerous places for Han Shigui because they must be guarded by the army.
In fact, the ammunition depot is very important to them, because if they want to attack the fortification, they need the most **. The most efficient way is to blow up all the buildings, and if possible, Han Shigui and the others also want to have a fortress cannon. Although it may have a certain impact on the buildings in the city, it can't be controlled so much now, as long as these devils are dead.
"I think we should first determine the location of the ammunition depot and find a way to get out the ** in the ammunition depot, so as to ensure our safety and also cause the Japanese to suffer a lot of casualties."
Here, Han Shigui, Shandong and several battalion commanders of the vanguard are still thinking about it.
"Will we do this to cause dissatisfaction from our superiors?"
"Superiors, what the hell are the superiors who are dissatisfied now, they want to enter Tengchong City more than us, we can solve it smoothly, maybe, they will reward us!"
